Collection of Objects From String

This activity splits the InputString parameter based on the Separator parameter and builds a collection of Object items as output.

...

Execution and activity usage:

  • the activity splits the input string based on the given separator:



  • the activity will output a collection, which will contain the elements retrieved after the split operation. The output collection can be iterated using a ForEach activity and the results displayed using Log Track Data activities:



    • For Each: takes as input the output Collection from the Collection Of Objects From String activity:



    • Log Track Data activities can output values for Key and Value items:





  • The results will be displayed in the Track Data area:

 

 



Get Element From Collection

This activity returns an element from a specified index from the given Input Collection.

...

  • the activity will extract the entire element from a collection, by default outputting the value into a CSV string:



  • a next step is to extract different information if the Filter Index and Name Indexes fields have values (Filter Index field is the one with priority) and outputting the values into the Element variable (the variable's value was displayed using a Log Track Data activity). In our example, the value for the Company item should be displayed:

Initialize Collection
